Ways to Give

Leave A Legacy

Think about the values that have been important in your life. Who instilled these values in you? Do you want to ensure those same values are passed along to others?

Charitable gift planning ensures that The First Tee can continue to impact the next generation of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.

“We hope you will join us in ensuring that the next generation of young people will be prepared for the challenges they might face in life. With a goal of reaching millions of young people each year for decades to come, The First Tee needs your help.”

-Jack Nicklaus, chair of The First Tee Legacy Society
